everybody wants to be a rockstar..........................!

this is sort of a promo for a friend of mine..fatboi..hes this awesome singer cum guitarist..n jams wt my friend visaq n sometimes they get this drummer in too called tinku..ok vll hav to change his name to somethng cooler wen the band gets a record deal..lol..but wt im trying to say is fat bois got this awesome voice..n he makes like these guaranteed teary bleary songs..his music is like cobain meets beatles...wait ive alwys thought of nirvana as beatles meets ramones..but anywys..fat bois just made this song called wicked eyes..n its beautiful..its breathtakingly sad and its extremely radio friendly..there isnt even a bridge n he whines on n on for five n a half minutes without seeming at all repetitive in glorious melancholy..its just too unfair that hes stuck in a place that cn neither appreciate his music or give him a platform to showcase his talent..ive done my share of going to rock concerts..chenna banglore pune..n this guys as good as any of them..n his sound is quite unique compared to wts doing the rounds in indian rock today..it can b heavy and it can b deep too..it cn evoke a rainbow of emotions and tts somethng very few bands today cn do...most mainstream music is pretty uni-faceted..tho v hav our share of good music bands..esp in the north east where there r some amazing guitarists...i dont know how many of u ahv heard of this cochin band called aviyal..they ahd a pretty popular song and a great video called nadanada..ive nevr heard anyone sound convincigly angry in malaytaam before..its more diffciult thn u think..mallu, most indian languages in fact are very mellow n impossible to actually exercise rage in..these guys hav done a brilliant job wt a pretty heavy song ..good work by the dj too wch is a pleasant surprise..he doesnt sound nauseatingly electronic like linkin park or so many of the shitty nu-bands today..but just blends in with the very true-metal sound that is aviyal...
i guess wt im saying is as music fans i think v sort of hav a responsiblity towards local bands..go for a show evn if theyre not doing covers..buy a tape if u like it..rembr that they dont rly hav mtv or worldspace to back them like intl bands do but tts no reason for them to suffer in anonymity if they hav talent..i dont know wt anyone cn do abt it but its definitly time somethng happened for thse ppl to get their due..there r quite a few great bands out there today whod hav been superstars if they were in a difrnt country..so im going to do my bit n put up my friends song for download/listening on my blog as soon as he copywrites it..good luck to u fat boi..u rock man!
